Well my HID's finally came in today from DDM tuning (or something like that) and i decided to put them on as soon as i got home even though its like 17 degrees outside. I was excited as sheet though so i could not wait. The lights look beautiful, by the way theyre 8000ks. When i got in the car i noticed that the ABS light was on and it's never been on before. This was the first time i had started the car in like a month. Any suggestions as to what i should first start to look for?

EDIT: I apologize i forgot to mention that the stang is on jack stands and it has no wheels on it i sold the ugly 17" bullits for some polished aluminum saleens which i still have to mount some tires on and put back on the car.
Another thing is that the garbage duralast battery is still in there and its totally done so i had to jump the car again.

ABS error from running on jack stands

If the car is run while on jack stands, this will cause the ABS light to come on. The difference in rotation from the front and rear wheels is making it freak out.

It will reset on its own once the front/rear wheels send good signals. Done this many times myself. Relax. Its OK.
